"In the summer of 1941, Irene Lorch must perform the most perilous balancing act of her life. Irene grew up traveling around Germany with her family's circus, surrounded by her loved ones and thrilling the crowds with her performance on the high wire ... until one day, the audience boos. The Lorch family is Jewish, and the increasing power of Adolf Hitler's Nazis has put them all in grave danger."-- Provided by publisher.
